Rainbow Ridge Size:20x36 print

Rainbow Ridge Size:20x36 printThis is a stitched, high resolution panorama shot with Nikon's 70 200mm f4 at 200mm. The uncompressed file would print larger than billboard size with incredible detail. Composed of more than 30 individual shots taken on a windless morning south of Albany, Vermont, this image showcases a hardwood ridge at the height of fall's transition to color. At 20x36, the individual leaves are all sharp and the fine details jump along with the color.
